Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Mark 10:38

_ _ But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask — How gentle the reply to such a request, preferred at such a time, after the sad announcement just made!

_ _ can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? — To “drink of a cup” is in Scripture a figure for getting one’s fill either of good (Psalms 16:5; Psalms 23:5; Psalms 116:13; Jeremiah 16:7) or of ill (Psalms 75:8; John 18:11; Revelation 14:10). Here it is the cup of suffering.

_ _ and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? — (Compare for the language, Psalms 42:7). The object of this question seems to have been to try how far those two men were capable of the dignity to which they aspired and this on the principle that he who is able to suffer most for His sake will be the nearest to Him in His kingdom.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Mark 10:32-45.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Mark 10:38

Ye know not what ye ask — Ye know not that ye ask for sufferings, which must needs pave the way to glory. The cup — Of inward; the baptism — Of outward sufferings. Our Lord was filled with sufferings within, and covered with them without.
